Context Menu in Web Templates 

Use

Web items and HTML elements (for example, tables, texts, and images) that you insert into a Web template, as well as for the Web template itself, have a context menu. This context menu has context-sensitive menu entries, which you can use to call various Web Application Designer functions. You can, for example, use the context menu to save a Web item (for which you have determined specific properties) in a library, call the properties dialog box for this Web item, copy the Web item and paste it into another Web template, or delete the Web item from the Web template.

Prerequisites

The context menu is available in Web templates from BW 3.0B SP04.
